Preparing The Work Area
1. Clear the area of children,

you are approached, stop the unit
immediately. When bucking, keep
workers at least 15 feet (4.6 m) apart.

areas invite injuries. Do not start
cutting until the work area is clear and
free from obstructions. Make sure
there is secure footing and a planned
retreat path from falling trees or
branches.

power lines. Keep at least 50 feet (15
m) away from all power lines.

artificial light.
